Ozarks’ Coin Club’s “Flying Eagle” for the month of May 2012

All B.S. Written entirely by Bob Stewart, President Ozarks’ Coin Club

Not a lot of BS this month. I guess the Summer Slowdown has hit me.

We will be taking a bus trip to St. Charles again this year. It will be a 35 seater like last year and the YN’s have first priority as

always. Do you think it is better to go Friday or Saturday? Call Jim Guy and give him your thoughts.

We didn’t have a Board Meeting in May as there was no pressing business.

Thanks to Dennis Beasley for his presentation at the last meeting. He also presented the club with a CD on one of his F.U.N Show

presentations. Thanks Dennis for being there for the Club when you got my “Help” e-mail.

Just found out that I will be doing a presentation in June at the International Paper Money Show in Memphis on June 9 th on my

Philippine Series 1941 research project. If you collect paper money the Memphis show is as good as it gets!!!

Remember, the picnic has been moved to September!!!!!!

OZARKS COIN CLUB COMES UP A WINNER!!!!!

The Ozarks Coin Club recently participated in the 2012

National Coin Week Club Trivia Challenge, conducted

by the ANA. 30 coin clubs participated. The OCC was

one of ten clubs that got a perfect score, which consisted

of 20 questions plus a tie breaker question. A drawing

was held to determine the 1st and 2nd place. The OCC

did not win those and earned a third place tie with the

other eight clubs.

Our club will receive a certificate, NCW medallette,

and a 2012 U.S. Mint America the Beautiful Quarters

Many thanks go to YN Andrew Cummings and OCC

51. Two different dollars were both first... Was the first American dollar coin the Continental Dollar of 1776? In that year, we were still fighting a war for independence and had no national mint. The first dollar coin from the United States Mint was made in 1794, almost 20 years later. 52. So you think you know how much a Continental Dollar is worth? The coins we call "Continental Dollars" are not marked as dollars. Since they were not all made of silver, we guess that the silver ones were worth a dollar, the brass ones worth one pence, and the pewter...who knows? 53. Ben Franklin made lots of money...but whose? The design for the Continental Dollar coin that came out during the Revolutionary War was based on a paper dollar designed by Benjamin Franklin. He also found a way to keep crooks from printing phony bills—but that's another Fun Fact. Paper currency reproduced with permission from The Department of Special Collections, University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame, IN. 54. Ben Franklin helped to stop counterfeiters... In the 1700s, it was pretty easy to print money that looked real. But it was Franklin who finally hit on a good idea in 1739: He cast real leaves in lead and called it the "nature print." He kept the process so secret that no one figured out how he did it until the 1960s. 55. This penny is almost as big as a half dollar... America's first one-cent piece, called the "large cent," was first struck in 1793, one year after the Mint opened. It was so big that it was hard to use, but it wasn't replaced by a smaller penny until 1857, more than 50 years later

Fun Facts are obtained from the U.S. Mint website: http://www.usmint.gov/kids/coinNews/funFacts

Before the Battle of Bunker Hill, the British colonies in New England defended themselves with their own local militias...groups of volunteer soldiers set up as separate military units in each state and town. But when it came time to break free of British rule by defending Boston in June 1775, the men of the Continental Congress decided to gather the militias into a single organization and began forming companies of riflemen. This effort to unite the fighting forces created the Continental Army, which later became the U.S. Army Infantry. The Continental Congress appointed George Washington as the Army's first Commander-in-Chief. Ever since, the U.S. Infantry has remained an essential part of the military in the United States. Soon, the story of this important organization will be told in a new museum called The National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center. And now there's a coin that tells a short version of the story too! My coin of the month hasn't been around since 1775, but only 2008, when a law to create it was passed by Congress and the President. The law required the Secretary of the Treasury to mint and issue a special silver dollar to honor the legacy of the U.S. Army Infantry and the establishment of the National Infantry Museum and Soldier Center. And here it is. As you can see in the pictures, the coin's images symbolize the Infantry's courage, pride, sacrifice, sense of duty, and history. Isn't it great how much history can be wrapped up in one little coin? That's my coin for this month. If you want to learn more about these Infantry designs and what they mean, just check out the Commemorative Coins page! —Bill

U.S. Infantry Commemorative Dollar

Information regarding Coin of the Month is taken from the U.S. Mint web site http://www.usmint.gov/kids/coinNews/coinOfTheMonth/2012/05.cfm

Obverse: A soldier with a rifle motions for the unseen soldiers behind him to move forward.

Reverse: Crossed rifles are the insignia of the Infantry. Both sides of the coin show the standard inscriptions.
